Exceeded my expectations
First time watching a drama special and I absolutely loved this! Watched for Han Jieun and wasn’t disappointed; ended up falling in love with Kim Gunwoo too! He is so charming. They look so good together and have really good chemistry. I really enjoyed watching their super cute interactions during quarantine. The premise was relevant and very interesting, makes me wonder if there are people who actually become friends due to quarantine. The OSTs were very fitting and totally suited the whole mood of the drama. Strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a light hearted short film.Was this review helpful to you?
Acting and dialogues is all what matters, worth watching
Drama Special Season 13: Let's Meet in an Unfamiliar - 9/10 -short kmovievery nice low cost romance movie with about 1 hour watchtime.
I love this type of low cost movie. Where people are practically in same place whole time. Such movies are free from most distractions and you can focus on story, dialogues and acting quality.
plot - FL and ML are two unfortunate souls which got COVID-19 and ended up being quarantined in treatment center. They both are in separate :cells: and to get rid of boredom they talk to each other through window. This way they get familiar with each other without seeing their faces, just by knowing their voice and their stories.
genre - romance

Love in the time of COVID-19
Set in the early months of pandemic, two strangers find themselves as neighbours at a recovery center after testing positive for COVID-19. Without ever seeing each other's faces and talking through a paper cup phone they become confidantes in quarantine and share secrets and worries.This was a really well done rom-com. The isolation from the outside, made it possible for these two people to get to know each other with out anyone's interference and they manage to create their own world which resulted in a very cute bubble. Every scene the leads "shared" was really fun, butterfly-inducing, blood-warming and heart-skipping. The characters are nuance on their own, not just as a couple, Hee Joo struggles with work life and whatever she will be able to find her way in life. On the other hand, Ki-joon has found success as a pastry chef but hasn't spoken to his sister in four years after a disagreement they had. Both characters have their own problems and with the help of one another they get the courage to do better. I love it when a drama portrays a green flag couple that manages to become the best version of themselves with each other's support.
The drama also tries to portray some of the struggles of this time period in human history, but only a surface level. It's more like the background to justify how the leads met. Props to Go Ae Ri who had to perform in a full body suit as the doctor attending the leads and somehow managed to show every emotion. Her eyes said it all.
Speaking about performances, I am shook at Kim Gun Woo's performance. For half the drama special I knew he looked familiar and then it dawn on me he was one of the nasty lead characters in The Glory. MY GAWD THE MAN HAS RANGE. In here he plays a charming, open-minded and sweet young man that made me fall for him.
Han Ji Eun gave a very solid performance (no surprise). I thought her character to be deeply relatable and that is one of the strongest points of this drama special, because one can see themselves in her and so you could be living that situation, share her concerns over the future and the world.
Overall, I thought this was a very cute drama that left me with a big smile and that's a big win for me. I absolutely recommend it!
